The Twelve Days of a Homeowner's Christmas

The Twelve Days of a Homeowner’s Christmas


On the first day of Christmas Break, such woe came unto me,

A gate that only opens partially.


On the second day of Christmas break, such woe came unto me,

One pool overflowing.

And a gate that only opens partially.


On the third day of Christmas Break, such woe came unto me,

One blown transformer,

One pool overflowing,

And a gate that only opens partially.


On the fourth day of Christmas Break, such woe came unto me,

Bedroom walls a-leaking,

One blown transformer,

One pool overflowing,

And a gate that only opens partially.


On the fifth day of Christmas Break, such woe came unto me,

More rain and thunderstorms!

Bedroom walls a-leaking,

One blown transformer,

One pool overflowing,

And a gate that only opens partially.


On the sixth day of Christmas Break, such woe came unto me,

Shopping for my husband,

More rain and thunderstorms!

Bedroom walls a-leaking,

One blown transformer,

One pool overflowing,

And a gate that only opens partially.


On the seventh day of Christmas Break, such woe came unto me,

One puppy peeing,

Shopping for my husband,

More rain and thunderstorms!

Bedroom walls a-leaking,

One blown transformer,

One pool overflowing,

And a gate that only opens partially.


On the eighth day of Christmas Break, such woe came unto me,

Carpets that need cleaning,

One puppy peeing,

Shopping for my husband,

More rain and thunderstorms!

Bedroom walls a-leaking,

One blown transformer,

One pool overflowing,

And a gate that only opens partially.


On the ninth day of Christmas Break, such woe came unto me,

Presents that need wrapping,

Carpets that need cleaning,

One puppy peeing,

Shopping for my husband,

More rain and thunderstorms!

Bedroom walls a-leaking,

One blown transformer,

One pool overflowing,

And a gate that only opens partially.


On the tenth day of Christmas Break, such woe came unto me,

Cancelling housekeepers,

Presents that need wrapping,

Carpets that need cleaning,

One puppy peeing,

Shopping for my husband,

More rain and thunderstorms!

Bedroom walls a-leaking,

One blown transformer,

One pool overflowing,

And a gate that only opens partially.


On the eleventh day of Christmas Break, such woe came unto me,

20 lbs. of roast beast,

Cancelling housekeepers,

Presents that need wrapping,

Carpets that need cleaning,

One puppy peeing,

Shopping for my husband,

More rain and thunderstorms!

Bedroom walls a-leaking,

One blown transformer,

One pool overflowing,

And a gate that only opens partially.


On the twelfth day of Christmas Break, such woe came unto me,

One exhausted mother,

20 lbs. of roast beast,

Cancelling housekeepers,

Presents that need wrapping,

Carpets that need cleaning,

One puppy peeing,

Shopping for my husband,

More rain and thunderstorms!

Bedroom walls a-leaking,

One blown transformer,

One pool overflowing,

And a gate that only opens partially.
